In Linux I often find its good enough to just disable useless or dangerous services.
Windows doesn't have that luxury (or at least I haven't found a big enough hammer to achieve that with), AND its own firewall let at least one worm pass anyway!
No, if people have no faith in the ability of Microsoft to competently engineer anything, for some people at least, its a well earned belief.
Well, since intel's faster chips are running slower than their slower chips, AMD actually has a 64 bit product out, and theres still plenty competition towards speed boosting features. Oh, and AMD isn't charging limbs for their CPUs yet.
I'll worry about complacency when the threat of stale tech pops up.

I imagine you'd have to blow it up pretty hard to do that. Nuking it would work, but, ahhh, redundant I'd say.
Surely the Centauri will sell us jumpgate tech...
In the speed arena, imagine the 8x Opteron box maniacally laughing at the 12x Transmeta box.
Well, thats what I'm doing, followed by imagining the owner thinking about creative ways to use the generated heat.
I thought XViD was an MPEG 4 implementation, therefore being not-free in relation to your other mentions.
With 40GB available, you can have 58 times [google.com] as many programs available as you can with a 700MB CD.
If we're talking typical case (knoppix) then since the harddrive likely won't be compressed, its only a matter of 20 times as many programs.
Moving on to the days of DVDs things are going to get even less impressive in that regard...
16,777,216 != infinity :-)
Yeah, after seeing a few moving shaking ads in the middle of the article. I decided to simply not see any more of them.
At least I'm not costing them the bandwidth now.
Stop thinking dirty thoughts about Linux's /dev/null!!
I thought the "Ask me about Loom" bit in Monkey Island was cute.
Its a shame Al didn't ask if I wanted him to sell my address to spammers.
He apparently thought I would say yes to it.
They have a right to keep it closed.
The can is open, the worms are everywhere.
They have a right to stick their fingers in their ears and hum very loudly, as long as they don't violate any noise ordinances in the process.
and brought computers to the home market in a way never seen before.
Yeah, it brought them to the market broken!
Windows running on a 68K proc?
How about A32@Lamer_Exterminator or something more plausable instead.

How about Interlingua or something else that threatens to be useful?
Your monitor is already 3-D then? Cool!
Ignoring flash being able ta access video/audio ins on your system. So far its perfectly harmless. :-)
I was simply cringing in recollection of not having memory address translation.

Global linear addressing sucks, heres why.
Fragmentation.

Could make cheaper busses without engines and have other busses tow them!
Somehow I expect more from a Release Candidate version. That it was marked RC2 bugs the heck out of me.
They were doing a campus article.
:-)
Crap, didn't know anyone read that stuff...
I'll get my start by finding an Asterisk CD in a box of Captain Crunch.
